Best Rap Songs of the 90's (1 Viewer)

Footballguy Jr.
A lot of Tupac, Jay Z, & Nas could make the top 10, but I nominate Juicy as the number 1 rap song of 90's...

Off the top of my head a top 10 list, in no order, based on both my love of them and general popularity, would be:

Obvious:

Snoop - Gin & Juice

Dr Dre & Tupac - California Love

Nas - Halftime

Dr Dre & Snoop - Nuthin But a G Thang

Biggie - Juicy

Slight "off the radar":

Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You

Souls of Mischief - '93 til Infinity

Mobb Deep - Shook Ones, Pt. II

Big L - Put It On

Geto Boys - Mind Playing Tricks on Me

Great song. But I'm going with Black Sheep's "The Choice Is Yours"

 
Very little as far as I'm concerned. Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Keith, and Straight Outta Compton. That's about it until El-P came along.

I never thought El-P was good until the aughts, frankly. Never liked Company Flow. Love his solo stuff. Any thoughts? Cancer 4 Cure is a freaking timebomb of an album.

eta* Straight Outta Compton is '88 or '89.

eta* Blue Flowers by Dr. Octagon (Kool Keith) deserves a nod, too. Whoa.

I'm not sure El-P was working in '90s. I'm just not a big hip-hop fan, and it tends to come down to the producers for me. Should have included Mos Def.

Yeah, can't forget Mathematics and others. Rawkus Records...

 
MOP - how about some hardcore

masta ace - born to roll

jeru tha damaja - come clean

ATCQ - electric relaxation

frankly put... '93 was the greatest.. could added 20 more tracks from that year

DJ Premier + Mos Def = Mathematics :moneybag:

Id never call it a top 10 90's song, but its definitely my favorite Mos Def track

 
Let The Rhythm Hit Em.

Got My Mind Made Up

Something off of Life After Death - those albums are so incredible that Biggie gets shorted because it's so hard to put one song at the top at the expense of another.

 
Today was a good day is my #1.

Straight outta Compton is normally my 1 rap, but I think that was 88.

By the way, heard the original 99 problems the other day. Ice t. Had to laugh about the fact there's no way my kids would be allowed to listen to some 80s rap.

Great song
Gangsta of Love (vulgar as it may be) is even better. Using Sweet Home Alabama (and the Joker from Steve Miller version) was just funky awesome.

Scenario, especially the Remix. Introduced the world to Busta Rhymes.

The Choice is Yours, Strobe-light Honey Black Sheep

C.R.E.A.M. Wu-Tang

And perhaps the height of funk, jazz and Hip Hop before it got utterly ruined by a mix of pop/money/fame and gangster rap above all else, the whole album of Brand New Heavies with various hip hop artists.

And my personal fav of all time perhaps:

Bullies on the Block, Freestyle Fellowship

 
tough one (or 10)

Pete Rock and CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You

Jay Z - Dead Presidents 2 (Feelin' It would be my runner up)

Eminem - Infinite

Wu Tang - Protect Ya Neck

Bone Thugs - Thuggish Ruggish Bone

Eazy E - Real Muthaphukkin Gs (4 minutes long about murdering Dr Dre and Snoop hardest rap song ever IMO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsdLn46UXnA&feature=kp )

Common - I Used To Love HER

Outkast - Southernplayalistickcadillacmuzik

Notorious Big and Bone - Notorious Thugs

Tupac - Only God Can Judge Me

Nas - The Message

Love me some 90's Bone Thugs...

Eazy E had a couple of solid tracks, but due to the amount of quality coming from the west in the 90's I think others beat him

So nobody has even mentioned Outkast. Rosa Parks or spottieottiedopaliscious
Outkast has so many great songs, but I have trouble even picking my own favorite or top 5 let alone a song Id call top 5 or top 10 of the 90's. Southernplayalistic, ATLiens, and Aquemini may all very well be in my top 10 favorite albums of all time, and thats part of it, those albums are amazing because of the sum of their parts not because of a few hit singles.

Good ones listed. I bolded what I feel is the best from the 90's.

edit: I can't believe I forgot about Eric B and Rakim. Damn good beats.
